You can bring chips, or you can be impressive with Halloween-themed treats that will be enjoyed by many. Below I have listed different treats that will save you time, money, and effort!
1. Pumpkin Pretzels
This treat is quick and easy and only requires three ingredients! Purchase a bag of pretzels, orange candy melts, and green m&m’s. Heat a bowl of orange candy melts according to the package directions. Then, take a fork and dip the pretzels in the melted candy. Place the pretzels on wax paper and quickly put the green m&m atop the pretzel. The final result will look like this:
2. Nutter Butter Ghosts
First, make sure to remind people that this treat contains peanuts! Buy a pack of nutter butters, white chocolate chips, and mini milk or dark chocolate chips. Melt the white chocolate, and dip the nutter butter in it. Place this on wax paper and add three mini chocolate chips in an upside down triangle formation in order to add the eyes and mouth. If you don’t have enough, two chocolate chips for the eyes will suffice. This dessert will be presented like this:
3. Pumpkin Oreo Pops
